Overview

Built for Reverend C.L. Miel, the Saint Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church #2 was constructed of stone to resist the storms that caused the previous church to collapse. William Ladd Willis, in his book, History of Sacramento County, California,said of this new edifice: "Later a stone church was erected on the corner of J street, of which the present rector is Rev. Charles E. Farrar. It is one of the few stone churches in the state, and one of the finest ecclesiastical edifices in the northern part of California." (See William Ladd Willis, Chapter XXXI, "The Churches," History of Sacramento County, California: With Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the County Who Have Been Identified with Its Growth and Development from the Early days to the Present, [Los Angeles, Cal., Historic Record Company, 1913], p. 293.)
